Would it be possible for someone to add tracers to the auto cannons and a hit flash like in silent hunter?
Or how would one go about adding such effects to it?

Greetings,

The problem with tracers is they work both ways, the enemy now knows exactly where you are.
- Small calibre ammo tracer will normally burn out at around 1200 to 1700 mtrs.
- Large tracer ammo (APT) is a bit more specialised and may not have been wanted by the sub service.

- For AP ammo there should be a small flash when metal is hit, but the majority of targets are not armoured so may not see that flash.
- He ammo will create an explosive detonation on impact with any hardened surface, so that should be seen from distance.

Add-on:
The ammo for the 2.0 cm Flak 30 ammunition included armor-piercing incendiary tracer and armor-piercing tracer shells.

Later when the Flak C/38 were installed it used the same types of ammo.

Mid war the AA guns were upgraded to 20mm MG 151/20, In addition to armor-piercing incendiary, armor-piercing incendiary tracer, fragmentation incendiary tracer, the ammunition also included a high-explosive projectile containing 25 g of hexogen-based explosives.

All of these weapons saw single, dual and quad installations during the war. And for the fleet guns they had a 3 plane stabilisation system.

They don't seem to work for me at all weirdly enough maybe only nvidia gpus have access to those effects? cause I have tried all my settings it never works.
Also HE shells probably would have tracers for shooting at aircraft actually I think most ammo loads for german AA had a few tracers for spotting... so...

the shared bundle ( a dependency mod for other mods) actually adds tracers and impact sparks.

That maybe why actually i didn't know that but the video I saw it in did reference that mod being used.
